Overview

Top site for play area

Relax in the Suffolk countryside

Visitors to Polstead Club campsite can expect to find a thoughtfully laid out campsite, maintained to a high standard. The pitches are generously sized, some are screened by hedges and trees other pitches are in small clusters giving a more secluded feel.

The modern toilet and shower facilities, together with a superb washing up area are centrally located. The site shop is stocked with essentials and younger campers are treated to a small play area.

Its rural location on the edge of a conservation area ensures visitors to our Polstead campsite in Suffolk have plenty to do during their stay. The campsite takes its name from a pretty village just a mile away, which features a large pond separated from the village green by a steep hill. There is an excellent network of paths around the village, some taking in the area’s ancient woodland and county wildlife sites.

The campsite is surrounded by quiet country lanes, ideal for exploration by bike. The Suffolk villages of Kersey, Lavenham – with its stunning guildhall and church - and Boxford are less than ten miles from site.

Constable country, including Flatford Mill and Dedham, is within driving distance, as is Long Melford – home to a number of antique shops and the location for TV’s Lovejoy.

Reviews

This is a lovely little site. We were on the paddock which overlooked fields.

This is a lovely little site. We were on the paddock which overlooked fields. There is a lovely walk, about 45 minutes, through woods and farmland to the village where there is a dog friendly pub - beware, though, it closes between 3 and 5.30 p.m. so we didn't get to try the food. On the main road there is another pub about 5 minutes' walk away which does very good food. We would definitely go back.

Site was well laid out with a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches.

Site was well laid out with a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches. Most were individually set out with hedging boundaries. We did feel that some may be a bit small for those with larger units and would like to put up an awning.

A: Club Members can book online from 6th November for the 2015 season. Non members can book from 8th January 2015.

Q: Do I get to choose my own pitch?

A: Wherever possible, you will be able to select your own pitch however in busy periods, the choice may be limited. Holiday Site Managers will take in to account any special requests you have made, however they cannot guarantee these requests will be met.
If you are unhappy with your pitch, the Holiday Site Manager will try to re-pitch you, where possible, on a remaining pitch of the type you have booked.

Q: I have a converted unit – will you accept me on your sites?

A: If your caravan, motorhome or trailer tent is not of a proprietory make, please send clear photographs to the Club’s UK Club Sites Department at Greenfields House, for consideration by the Sites Director.

Q: How do I pay the balance of my booking?

A: The balance of your booking is payable on arrival at site. For itinerary bookings, i.e. bookings with more than one stay, the balance for each stay will be payable on the relevant site.

A: Your pitch will be available after 12 noon on your arrival day and will need to be vacated by 12 noon on your final day, unless you make arrangements with the Holiday Site Manager in advance. Some sites have limited parking, so if you arrive early you may be asked to return later. Please try and arrive before 8pm. If you’re delayed, please let the site know by calling them directly.
